"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"You can back up the whole image."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"I have experienced some errors, such as failures, but there have not been very many."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"Something within the software itself isn't quite right. There may be a bug or glitch. It will work fine for weeks and then all of a sudden it just tanks."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"It is not a recommended software when it comes to large environments where there has to be a minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and/or Recover Point Objective (RPO)."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"It needs an easier interface."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
